Hello Joel,

Thanks for the update. The act of initiating the HPOZ boundary correction / adjustment may
be done through introduction of a Council Motion. A Council-initiated zoning ordinance
change historically means the Department of City Planning will incorporate the item into
its work program and assign in-house City staff to prepare all the required documents

(public hearing notices, ordinance map, ordinance

language) and facilitate the approval process through the City Planning Commission and
City Council. Ken Bernstein will need to full understand this and be cooperative in
moving the item through the decision-making process.

For starters, a draft Motion would help - is City planning staff going to provide examples
of previous Council Motions? Otherwise a draft Motion out of your office can only help.

Good afternoon.

Please see the email below from Christina Park in OHR/DCP.

Gerald, I assume that having CM Cedillo introduce a motion to amend the HPOZ will not be
an issue. I thought I would check with you to see if your office has an example of such
a motion. If you do not, I will ask Christina and Ken Bernstein if they have an example
for another HPOZ. If they don't, it won't be a problem for our office to create one.

Joel

After consulting the City Attorney's office and with Heather Bleemers, whom you
recommended we reach out to, it is looking like the shortcut zone change would not be
feasible in this scenario. The boundary correction would need to be initiated as a
Council motion and move through standard channels.

I will check in with a few other colleagues who might have dealt with similar scenarios,
if not identical, and follow up with more information for you later this week.

Regards,

Christina

Good morning, Christina and Ken.

Another week (+) has slipped away so I wanted to check in with you on the HPOZ
correction path (see below). I assume that by now you've put the question to the City
Attorney's office. Can you please let us know what the conclusion is.

Thank you,

Joel

Happy New Year, Christina.

Have you had a chance to chat with the city attorney's office on the "short-cut" zone
change process that we discussed before the holidays?
